I was travelling by the bus today, and luckily enough, the rare event of enjoying the slight breeze by the window seat happened to me :) (It is hard enough to get a window seat, and lucky me, the breeze was mild and cool too :D ) And this time-out with my thoughts got me wondering. I will share with you, some of the rather weird doubts that arose in mind today! I am not going to try and answer them! This is just a wonder-out-loud session :)
Lets start with the bigger picture :) Who decided that the world should be round?? There are a lot many scientific explanations to why it has happened this way, and why it is good that it has happened this way. But who decided that it should be round? Who thought of this concept and found round to be the perfect shape? Is there a divine intervention in the organisation of the universe? Or maybe its just one of the numerous miracles of science (Maybe the divine intervention is the scientific miracle :))...
Zooming in to the micro-details, what force decided that all the living beings should have 2 eyes, 2 ears, a nose with 2 nostrils, but only one mouth?? Why don't we have two mouths, one to talk to people on our left and one more to talk to people on our right? Or why isn't one eye sufficient to view both sides????
Again, who decided that the eyes should be on top, the nose below the eyes and the mouth below the nose?? What if our face had some other arrangement?? (Gross to imagine, but if it had been this way from the start, we would be used to it by now..)
I l conclude with a very simple thought that occurred to me... The five basic Elements of nature, namely, Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Space, form the basis of our survival. And for the immeasurable love and care that Mother Nature has shown towards her child, oodles of gratitude is in order :)
Nature presents to us, the wonderful concept of order in chaos! It is something to learn from and live by. Let us appreciate and respect the miracle that the Cosmos is! Let us Learn to Live!
You know what i checked the net and found only one thing about the world being round.
ReplyDeleteWho ever proposed it in the begining, proposed it for aesthetic and stupid crazy reasons.
Pythagoras, around 500 BC, proposed that the Earth was round, but only because of aesthetic and mystical reasons. A sphere was the most perfect shape from his viewpoint.
